I have the "first" one delivered to the public through Monroe, back in 2003. It has been a great truck.
I average 8-12 MPG loaded,(depends on if I am pulling our toy hauler or the boat, the boat gets better mileage.) 14 mpg just cruising. I average 73 mph when loaded, has plenty of power to hold speed.
There has been LOTS of upgrades since mine was released, leather interior, air ride etc. My brother just purchased a 2007 w/all the toys, claims it rides great, both loaded and empty, mine has the standard suspension, and is a bit stiff when not hauling.
The interior is huge, especially for the rear seats. 5 adults have no problems with room.
2WD is all you need, we have NEVER had a problem getting the boat back out, however in rainy days (slippery ramp) we have made sure the fuel tanks are full for the extra weight as a precaution.
The only problem with the truck is everytime we stop, it draws a crowd of people asking questions and wanting to know about the truck, so if you are shy????

Just posted mine for sale. The truck is a great tow vehicle averages almost 14 mpg unloaded and 12 mpg loaded, great suspension with air ride in the 2WD, i have driven 4WD and seems harsher...these trucks do not ride like Escalades, but I do drive mine as my daily driver and love it. It draws an unbelievable crowd everytime I stop, people goes nuts over these big trucks. The only reason I am selling is that my business is growing quickly and needs more $$$$$ so goodbye toys...for now.
